Welcome to the Pre-Party!
The 2022 RBC Brooklyn Half Pre-Party Presented by New Balance is underway at Pier 2 in Brooklyn Bridge Park! Taking place Wednesday through Friday, May 18–20, the Pre-Party is where runners pick up their race materials and much more.
For the first time since 2019, the Pre-Party welcomed runners to Brooklyn. Some 22,000 runners are expected for the RBC Brooklyn Half on Saturday, May 21. Runners visited the Pre-Party to pick up their bib numbers and race materials, shop for New Balance gear, relax and play lawn games, rock out to awesome entertainment, enjoy Brooklyn-themed food and drinks, and get excited as we count down the days until race day.
Number pickup is also taking place for the Boardwalk Kids Run at the RBC Brooklyn Half Stage 2 and Stage 3 for youth runners.
If you're running on Saturday, make an appointment in your NYRR dashboard for a time slot to pick up your race materials at the Pre-Party, if you haven't already done so. You must pick up your own materials there (or have a proxy pick them up); absolutely no numbers will be distributed on race morning and numbers are not available at the NYRR RUNCENTER.
To ensure a smooth pre-party experience and race day, check out the race page and our tips for staying safe in the heat.
We can't wait to welcome you back to Brooklyn!
